One cold December day while I was at school covering the office for the principal, a delivery of mulch showed up. I had to make an announcement that the playground wouldn't be available for a little while due to the mulch delivery. After a few calls to the office wanting to know how much longer until they could go on the playground, I decided to go out and ask how much longer they would be (one of James favorite things to be asked while he is at work). It just so happened that the man I was asking had a smile that I could not forget. I am a little shy when it comes to approaching men so I decided to get my friend Sharonda to go out to the playground and attempt to get his number for me. She came back in with a sticky note that had a number on it and I decided to play it cool and waited until that evening to send him a text. We set up a date to go bowling a few weeks later and the rest is history! I am so happy that our paths crossed that day at my school and I cannot wait to marry him!
